Mint remember that live o’clock, P. M., every f
liar, h the latest hour for receiving their adver- j
rising favors, for publication the ensuing morning j
The Excitements of Ea*»t People.
Whether to account for it or not by the facility J
which exciting news can be flashed to us over the

like a tremendous railroad accident, where a hun
dred <>r more are killed or wounded, or a war or
an apprehension of war, to be sufficiently stimula- !
ting to keep the nerves of the public steady. The j
ordinary relations of life, with slight fluctua- (
tiona in business, whether of politics, morals, j
trade, finance, Ac., are ail voted decidedly out of
order. Nor is the prevailing fever for news at
tended with the slightest mitigation of intensity,
when a steamer t eaches us front Europe. Then
the pulse beats strong for the arrival of the mails,
and bv the time they are received, the blood is up
for another telegraph from the next steamer.
All classes of the community are anxious to heat I
from Central America—how the gallant Walkkr !
is progressing in the war with the Costa Ricans.
We are ait desirous of hearing something relia
ble from the threatened Spanish invasion of Nica
ragua, and their blockade and bombardment of
Vera Cruz.
We “want to know” what England intends to
do with her fleet of war steamers in Central Amer
ican waters, and the immense quantities of arms
and ammunition she is depositing in her Ameri
cau possession?.
We likewise feel equally as lively an interest in
our domestic affairs, and our attention and
thoughts are directed to Kansas, and the i/witi
civil war which is prevailing there.
In politics, and in every thing, the feelings and
thoughts of the people are kept up to fever heat,
and a nervous excitement for startliug intelligence,
a considerable advance, or decline in prices of cot
ton, breadstuff* or provisions, can be seen in all
quarters.
Yesterday, our citizens were actively engaged
in speculating upon the result of Mr. Crajipton’s
removal; and the excitement gave way to seize
with more avidity upon the prospective troubles
in San Juan
It is thus we go, from one excitement to anoth
er—from lhe blows inflicted on Scmxsr’s head, to
she storming of I.awr--nce.
We are tilting ahead at a fast rate. Electric tel
egraphs and railroads pander to the morbid con
dition, and we shall soon have the mails projected
through the country at the rate of one hundred
miles an hour. What a source of consolation to
our fast thinking, fast moving, and rapidly go
.head people.

.Dikii. Lecompton’s Chari.i. — The following i-
Judge Li compton’s charge to the Grand Jurv in
Kansas:
GeniUmtn: You are assembled to consider
whatever infringements of law may come under
vour notice, ana bring in bills as your judgment
dictates against those whom you may find to have ’
been guilty of such infringement. Your attention
will naturally be turned toward an unlawful, and
before unheard of organization that has been
f rmed in our midst, for the purpose of resisting
the laws ot the United Star . The exciting state
of affairs makes it important that yon should de- J
liberate, calmly, and above all have respect to the
oaths that you have taken, and without fear or fa
vorof am party, or of men, whether high or low,
to mete to all the justice which i their due,
•'You will take into consideration the cases of'
men who are dubbed Governors, bieut. Governors,
Secretaries and Treasurers, within this Territory,
and will find bilks in accordance with the following
instructions. Til's Territory was organized bv an
act of Congress, and so far, its authority is from
ihe United States. It has a Legislature elected in
pursuance of that organic act. This Legislature
being an instrument of Congress, by which it go\
eras the Territory, has passed laws -these laws,
therefore, are of tinted States authority and mak
ing, and all that resist these laws resist the power
and authority of the United States, and are, there
fore, guilty of high treason.
“ Now, gentlemen, if you find that any persons |
hare resisted these laws, then vou must, under
your oaths, find hills against such persons for high
treason If you find that no such resistance ha t i
been made, but that combinations have been form
ed for the purpose of resisting them, and individ
uals of influence and notoriety have been aiding ]
and abetting in such combinations, then must you !
■Uiit find bills for constructive treason, as the courts
have decided that to constitute treason the blow
need not be struck, but only the intention bo made
evident.”
The grand jury thereupon found true hills against
Charles Robinson, A. H. Rki dee, \Y. Y. Roberts
and G. W. Deitzi.eu, the latter gentleman being !
Secretary of State pro tern. Mr. Robinson's arrest
while he was leaving the territory, has already
been made known to our readers. Mr. Rei i.hr
was arrested while examining a witness before the
commission.

l he Assault on Air. Sumner.
We publish the proceedings of both branches of
Congress, in relation to the assault of Mr. Brooks
upon Mr. Scm.vkh. This assault, as our readers j
are aware, was commenced, on the part of Mr.
Simsm*, in his grossly vituperative speech in the i
Senate, on the 20th and 21st., in which he took oc- i
car ion, most seumliously, to refer to South Caro
lina, and used very objectionable terms against
Judge Bi ti.br, who was absent, but who, in part,
represents South Carolina in the Senate of the j
United States.
Mr. St Mxiiß, it is generally conceded, is a mau I
of rare intellectual ability, of middle age, and one •
of the most robust and athletic men in the Senate. ;
andin physical strength far superiop to Mr. Baooxs I
li was erideutly Mr. Smkkr’b hope, that his men- [
tal ability, physical strength, and the privilege the
Constitution gave him of protection for anything
said in speech or debate, would be sufficient to
shield him from any assault. But Mr. Brooks,
whose State pride was insulted, and his kinsman's
fair name outraged by the Senator from Massachu
setts, did not consider Mr. Scm.ver’s literary fame,
robust form, and Senatorial privilege, as of any
consequence, and lie resented the indignity to his
State and his relative, by a severe castigation.
The Washington Star has an account of the as
sault, said to be from an eye-witness, in whose
judgment and in the integrity of whose statements
it says it can rely, which is as follows :
On Thursday, after be had sought Mr. Sumner
elsewhere without finding him, Mr. Brooks went
to the Senate chamber, (the Senate having ad
journed), and Mr. S. being there, Mr. Brooks sat
near Mr. Sumner until a feu ladies, who were on
the floor, had retired. He then went up to Mr.
Sumner, who was at his desk, writing, and said ■
“1 have read your speech carefully and with as
much disposition to do you justice as I could com
mand ; and I have deliberately come to the con
clusion that you were guilty of'a gross libel upon
my State, and of a wanton insult to my absent
and grey-haired relative, Judge Butler, and I feel
myself under obligations to inflict on von a pun
ishment for this libel and insult.”
Mr. Sumner thereupon essayed to rise from his
seat, as though to resist what Mr. Brooks had said,
when he Mr. Brooks) struck Mr. S. with rapid
and repeated blows about the head with a gutta
percha cane, and continued his blows in spite of
Mr. Sumner’s efforts toward them off and seize
the cane, until Mr. S. fell. As Mr. Brooks was
suspending his blows, 1 which he did the instant
Mr. Sumner fell) Mr. Crittenden came up and in
terposed, saying “don’t kill, Ac.” Mr. Brooks
thereupon left the spot and remained with his
friends in the Senate chamber, until Mr. Sunmer's
friends, several of whom were present, , Mr. Mor
gan, of New York, and Mr. Foster, of Connecti
cut, among them), lifting him up, bore him into
one of the ant, .‘-rooms of the Senate.
The Star also states that Mr. Brooks with his
tuem.l , after lhe police officer, who hail served the
warrant on him, had retired, went to the office of
Justice Hollingshead and offered security for
court. The Justice did not think it propel to take
security for Court until he knew the condition of
Mr. Sumner, and therefore held Mr. Brooks to se
curity in SSOO for his appearance at the office on
the 24th inst., for a further hearing.
l'lie Liter, says- “As the attack was made by
Mr. Brooks when the Senate was not in session,
and when the Chamber is open to all persons, we
presume that the place where it was made can
have no bearing on the legal question which mav
be involved.”
The correspondent of the New York Herald.
■says about half-past one, after the Senate adjourn
ed Col. Preston S. Brooks, member of Congress,
of South Carolina, approached Senator Sumner,
who was sitting in his seat, and made, substantially,
the remarks above reported.
Col. Brooks (hen struck Senator Sumner with
his cane some dozen blows over the head. Mr.
Smnner at first showed fight, but was overpower
ed. Senator Crittenden and others interfered
and separated them.
Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, did not interfere,
only to keep persons oil'.
Senator Toombs declared that it was the proper
place to have chastised Mr. Sumner.
About a dozen Senators and many strangers,
happened to be in the Chamber at the' moment of
the fight. Sumner, I learn, is badly whipped. The
city is considerably excited, and’ crowds every
where are discussing the last item. Sumner
cried, “I’m most dead I oh, I'm mqst dead!” Af
ter Sumner fell between two desks, his own having
been overturned, he lay bleeding, and cried out!
“1 am almost dead—almost dead !"j
Mr. Brooks waited at the Porter’s Lodge about
an hour yesterday, and as long this morning, hop
ing to meet Mr. Sumner, with a view to attack him.
Failing m this, he entered the Senate Chamber to
day, just as that body adjourned, and seeing sever
j al ladies present, seated himself on the opposite
I side to Mr. Sumner. Soon all disappeared but
! one. He then requested a friend to get her out,
when lie immediately approached Mr. Sumner, and
| made his remarks in a very quiet tone.
| Mi. Sutnuer attempted'to spring to his feet,
i showing light, but whilst in the act was struck bv
| Col. Brooks a back-handed blow across the head,
j with a gutta percha cane near ail inch thick, but
i hollow, aud he continued striking him right and
left until the stick was broken into fragments, and
Mr. Sumner was prostrate and bleeding on’ the
j floor. No one took bold of Col. B. during the time,
i *<> quick was the operation ; but immediately uf
j forwards Mr. Crittenden caught him around' the
j body and arms, when Col. I>. said, “I did not wish
1 to hurt him much, but only whip him.”
No one knew of the anticipated attack but the
Hon. 11. A. Edmundson, of Virginia, who happen
ed not to be present when the attack commenced.
It was reported on the streets for several davs pre
vious that Mr. Sumner would be armed when he
delivered his speech, and that if occasion required
it he would use his weapons. He was not armed
when attacked by Col. Brooks to-dav. It is said,
: also, that Mr. Sumner gave out, before lie made
i his speech, that lie would be responsible for any -
i thing he inightsay.
The local editor of the Washington Organ thus
• describes Mr. Sumner's appearance, after the as
: sault:
His wounds consisted of two deep gushes across
the scalp ; a heavy bruise, running from his mouth
to liis forehead; bruises on las hands and arms,
and also on his legs, which were caused by bis
3tidden contact with a desk with such force that he
completely uprooted it.
The Doctor partially shaved his head ami put
I two stitches in each wound at the Capitol, and
completed the dressing at his rooms.
We h ive devoted a considerable space to-dav to
matters connected with this difficulty. We much
regret that the insolence of such men as Mr. Sr vi
neh, renders such scenes occasionally necessary.
Isis speech wa a gross outrage upon the character
j and dignity of the American Senate; and while
■ persons may honestly’differ as to the propriety of
the place, where the punishment was inflicted,
there are few who will not admit that lie justly de
scried a severe guta-}„relating, and lie received it.
A bill to punish drunkenness has been introduced
into ihe Legislature ot Massachusetts. It pro
vides us follows;
Sn. 1. Any person who shall be guilty of the
crime of drunkenness, by ihe voluntary use of in
toxicating liquors, shall,' for the first'offence be
punished by a fine not exceeding five dollars, or
bv confinement in the house of correction for a
term not exceeding thirty davs.
i Sf.c. 2. All acts and part’s of acts inconsistent
j herewith are repealed.

'i bis is to certify that I am well acquainted with
a man fifty years of age, for many years u resident
of this city, who has been at times extremely ill,
but could uot tell from what cause, unless it was
worms. He told his attending physician his sus
picions, blit the physician at once ridiculed the
idea, and refused to attend him any longer. 11 is
son then mentioned Hr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge, and
asked him if he would take it; liis reply vas I
must take something to get relief, or die.
The\ at once procured a bottle ot Dr. M'Luiv- \
Celebrated 1 and he took oncvliali at one
dose. The result was, lie passed upwards of three
quart it of wmi, cut up in every form. He got well
immediately, and is now enjoying most excellent

deavoring to relieve his unfortunate neighbors. He
[ makes it his business to hunt up and select all cases
j similar to his own, that may he *iven over by reg
| ular physicians, and induces them to tr\ Hi
M ’Lane’s \ ermifuge. So far, he has induced more
than twenty persons to take the Vermifuge, and in
every ease with the most happy results. He is
well satisfied that Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge, pre

I-*'- Dailey’s Magical Pain Extractor.—
There never has been a discovery made in Materia
Medica, whereby pain can be so quieklv allayed,
ami where parts in a high state of inflammation
can be so rapidly reduced to their natural state,
m r where wounds and sores can be so thoroughly
and rapidly healed, and decay ed parts restored
without either scar or defect, than with DALLEY'S
MAGICAL PAIN EXTRACTOR.
In Cuts, Wounds, Sprains and Bruises -casual
ties to which children are constantly subject the
action of the genuine DALLEY’S PAIN EXTRAC
TOR is ever the same! How much pain and suf
fering may not thus be prevented 1 Moreover, life
itself is often dependent upon having at hand the
genuine DALLEY’S EXTRACTOR, and for par
ticulars of which 1 respectfully refer to my printed
pamphlets, for the truth of which I hold mvself re
sponsible.
No case of Burns and Scald, no matter how se
vere, has ever yet, in anv one instance, resisted the
all-powerful, pain-subduing and healing qualities
of the DALLEY’S PAIN EXTRACTOR.

Vidi! Vici! - The memorable
! exclamation of the renowned Roman Conquerer
i might, with the greatest propriety, be uttered by
; l>r. Rhodes, for with hi- “ Fever and Ague Cure”
j he has accomplished a greater conquest than ever
| wreathed with laurel crown the brow of Ciesar.
“Peace hath her victories, no less renewed than
1 war,” and no greater triumph was ever achieved
by chemical skill than the production of this great
remedy for the malarious diseases which afflict our
western country.
It is surely a nobler ambition to alleviate the
miseries of the human race by destroying disease
than to intlict additional suffering by the desolating
scourge of war—and he who saves one life is great
er than he who destroys thousands. The article in
question possesses the peculiar property of com
pletely neutralizing the effects of those poisonous
vapors which induce Fever and Ague, and, bv its
unvarying success, fully establishes its claim to
the title of a perfect antidote to malaria.
It is powerful for good, harmless for evil. One
trial will commend it to your approbation.

GRANGERS’ MAGIC CORN AND COB
AND MEAL MILL,
Patented September IS, 1855.
Qirardty, lYhyte <& Co., Sole Agents, Avgusta, Ga.
IMPRESSED with the entire superiority of
this celebrated Mill, over all others for like
purposes, we feel justified in presenting it to the
public, as being all that can be consistent!} de- i
sired.
Possessed of all the advantages which are so >
palpably secured by the inner cone instead of the \
outer, being a fixture, while the outer cone, (or i
shell ) revolves; of being regulated in its feed by j
a single nut; of utter simplicity and nccnrate con- ;
struction, these Mills present yet another, and a
most invafoabU feature, to which public attention j
is especially invited— and which we believe renders
it totally superior to any Mill extant—to-wit: the
rollers, (which are adjustable, and the principle
claim under the Patent) employed on the periphery ■
of the revolving or outer cone, at its base.
These rollers (interdicted in other machines)
when once adjusted serve to keep the cones, under
all circumstances, equi-distaut on every side (no j
matter how often the change of feed ', and utterly i
prevent the oseilating, or rocking motion other- ;
wise iucident to the revolving cone, and insepara- j
ble from the moving cones tit other Mills.
As among the incalculable advantages of this
arrangement, we suggest that there can be no ,
crowding of the feed on any one side of the Mill i
more than another, which in other Mills often !
brings in actual contact the sides of the Mill oppo- j
site to that excessively crowded, while it unmeas- ;
urably increases the resistance to the moving j
power. Again, while the yield is of more uniform
consistency, the cones may be brought almost to- J
gether, without danger of actual contact when in
operation- the result oftentimes of the rocking, i
or vibrators motion in other Mills, ) as the rollers ■
serve to preserve, under all circumstances, the re- i
lative distance of the cones from each other. Thus
the very finest material may be ground without
the danger of actual contact between the cones;
without the wear and tear incident to this contact;
and without the increased and irregular resistance
caused by this contact advantages which every
reflecting mind will agree, cannot be over estima
ted, and which stamp this Mill incomparably the
Git known ! Specimens of the grinding of this
Mill may be seen, of meal, shelled oats and rye,
which cannot be surpassed by the best Burr
Stones. A a recent public experiment, a single
horse ground at the rate of fifteen bushels ot ma
i terial front shelled corn, to the hour, of which
more than one-fourth was meal, passed through a
No. 18 sieve—-the balance hominy and stock
feed in equal parts. A small pony worked with
■ an gfj foot lever, a No. 2 Mill, grinding eight to
ten bushels to the hour, without difficulty. The
corn and cob ground together, exhibited beautiful
specimens of stock feed, which even true econo
mist should employ, even where there are but
three or four animals to supply.
The capacity of the Magic depends, in a measure,
on the kind and on the quality of the material
ground.
N’o. I, (designed more especially for family use,
or very small farms,) will grind from three to five
■ bushels per hour. No. 2, from five to ten bushels.
■ No. 3, from ten to fifteen bushels.
